ABOUT YOUR KLIPSCH PURCHASE

Your new Klipsch architectural speakers have been designed to deliver great sound while

remaining unobtrusive wherever you install them. Your new in-wall or in-ceiling speakers

are suitable for use as front, center or surround channels in audio or home theater applica-

tions, or as part of a distributed sound system.

Minimum Tools Required

#2 Phillips Screwdriver

Wire strippers

Level

Stud finder

Saw

In-Wall Speaker Placement

Designed to function in any standard wall, ceiling or drop ceiling, Klipsch in-wall speakers

are engineered for years of performance. Minimum construction requirements call for dry-

wall or other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick (Figure 1).

To maximize performance, speakers should be placed at an equal distance from the listener

and along a common wall to ensure the best stereo effect. For background listening envi-

ronments (or when the listening position may vary widely), speaker placement may be

wherever is most convenient, although in these cases stereo imaging may be lost.

In-Ceiling Speaker Placement

Designed to function in any drywall or drop ceiling, Klipsch in-ceiling speakers are engi-

neered for years of performance. Minimum construction requirements call for drywall or

other mounting surfaces to be at least 3/8" thick. In drop ceiling installations, typical "drop

in" 2’ x 4’ and 2’ x 2’ ceiling tiles are composed of low density materials which have the

potential over time to sag and vibrate audibly. To maximize the acoustic performance of

your in-ceiling speakers, Klipsch recommends you replace the original mounting panel with

1/2" to 3/4" plywood or medium density fiberboard (MDF) (Figure 2).

Speaker Installation (for New Construction, skip to step #3)

1. Cut the appropriate size opening in the wall or ceiling using the template provided. If the

template is not available, cutout dimensions are provided on the Klipsch website,

www.klipsch.com. Sizes listed are minimum. If accuracy of cut cannot be achieved, you

may add 1/4" to each dimension. Be careful not to cut through any existing wiring or

plumbing. Avoid compromising any fire stops between studs.

2. Run speaker wiring (18 gauge minimum) to the openings. Be sure to comply with all

building codes in your area.

ration if this product is sold or otherwise transferred to another party.

This Warranty does not cover cosmetic damage or damage due to misuse, abuse, negligence,

acts of God, accident, commercial use or modification of, or to any part of, the product. This

Warranty does not cover damage due to improper operation, maintenance or installation, or

attempted repair by anyone other than KLIPSCH or a KLIPSCH dealer which is authorized to do

KLIPSCH warranty work. Any unauthorized repairs will void this Warranty. This Warranty does not

cover product sold AS IS or WITH ALL FAULTS.

REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS AS PROVIDED UNDER THIS WARRANTY ARE THE EXCLUSIVE REME-

TO, THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PRACTICAL PURPOSE.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or

plied this product. To obtain any applicable warranty service, please contact the dealer from

which you purchased this product, or the distributor that supplied this product.

3. Attach the wire to the speaker using the wire’s color coding or markings as a guide to

maintain proper polarity.

4. For in-wall installation, loosely attach the metal ring to the speaker frame using the six

machine thread screws included with the speaker. Insert the ring and speaker into the open-

ing, level to suit and attach to the wall by tightening the six Phillips screws (Figure 3). The

metal ring will “sandwich” the wall and frame together as they are tightened. (Klipsch new

construction brackets make this simple if used prior to drywall installation.) For in-ceiling

installation, insert the speaker into the opening attach to the ceiling by tightening the four

Phillips screws that are attached to the “dogs” that will flip out and “sandwich” the wall and

frame together as they are tightened. (Klipsch new construction brackets make this simple if

used prior to drywall installation.)

5. At this point, you may paint the speaker grilles before attaching them to the speaker.

Klipsch grilles are designed to accept most types of paint. Care should be taken to avoid

excessive paint build-up in the grille perforations.

6. Press the grille into place.
